15 Mile Bike

Came into work this morning, got on my bike and rode 15 miles around the circle. It took me 70 minutes for an average speed of 12.8. I went much slower in the end than earlier, although at no time was I trying to go fast. I rode most of the way in the upright position. My butt did okay, although it was getting a little sore at the end. It actually hurt most when I went down into the low position. Still better than the other seat. I was pretty tired at the end. The problem with the circle is you are pedalling the whole time. I need to take more gliding breaks to let my legs recover.

At the end I did one quick burst for speed and got up to 22 mph on a straight, but I felt the bike begin to wobble so I eased off.

I need to keep doing these longer rides so that they are a piece of cake for me.

I do think actually countryside rides will be easier than the endless loop ride. I figure I did 22 laps.
